CROOK'S CORNER - OF COURSE HE GOT EMINEM'S BACK!! REACTION

Eminem is the reason I like lyrical rap artists. He's help me appreciate word play and the art of it. He's the reason I got into poetry.

[@vernesajackson5443]

[@dianaprobst3157]

[@RTucky]

Let me tell you something, as someone who lives in the Middle East, I can GUARANTEE you that we would not have known about the existence of rap without Eminem. The first rap song I ever heard was “The Real Slim Shady”. How dare they say that their precious hip hop would not be affected without Eminem? He literally put rappers on the world map, they barely even existed without him. These rappers are being RACIST, plain and simple, it’s pathetic.

@@RTucky I totally agree with you. It's just a shame to hear this much bias even from people who should know & do better. I'm Nigerian & from a very young age, I have been listening to rap & hip hop. But the first time I heard "kill you" by Eminem, I got hooked & he has been my favourite rapper ever since. I can't count the number of my peeps who started listening to rap after they heard me listening to Em. And certain people are going to come with this agenda & try to make Em ordinary? It's a big shame. What's more shameful is that some of these people complain about racism & being oppressed all the time, that they don't even realise when they are doing some racist s**t (or may be they do...)

[@AstaIsAMonster]

Same I got introduced to Royce because of the track called *Bad Meets Evil on The Slim Shady LP.* So I was also disappointed in Royce in what he said about Em because Em has always talked positive about Royce and constantly puts him on his albums and brings him out on his concerts to help his friend get more noticed in world. So it’s just sad that Em keeps getting backstabbed from people who are supposed to be family. Also I bet when Eminem finally passes away we gonna see a lot of fake love for him which is so fucked up that they can’t just give the man his credit now when he is alive to see it.

Imdontai said it i think

[@iykeo.7667]

I actually believe this strongly. The day Em dies...you'll see a lot of these clowns talking about how legendary & great of an artist he is... For now, they should keep up the hate

[@morenocarlos9928]

As someone who hasn’t enjoyed a majority of Em’s music since recovery, I think the answer is a blend of both. If he was black, he’d be another Black Thought/Raekwon/Lupe Fiasco. He’d be an alien but he wouldn’t have the commercial appeal of being the greatest rapper ever while also being a white rapper. His whiteness contributed to being accepted by people who hated rap music because it was predominantly black music. There’s no erasing Em from hip hop because he’s the best blend of mainstream and underground.

[@Mushtaps]

Moreno Carlos his first three albums SSLP, MMLP and Eminem show and then the release of 8 Mile and Lose Yourself would of kept him above those you name, it’s interesting to follow because he had that same shock value as Big L and Big L died before he could reach the next level of being a star, if he would of.

[@morenocarlos9928]

Malakai Riker he also wouldn’t have gone through the same struggles as he did if he was any other color. His whiteness helped him out in some regards and it’s also contributed to him always being an outcast in hip hop even if he’s the best rapper ever. He would have never had the fanbase he had without him being white, but if he was black he would have been accepted right away in hip hop

[@vikkimnm]

Laur R How are people not giving Eminem his respect when people have said that Eminem is one of the greatest m.c.s & lyricists in hip hop, is in the top 10 & the top 5 conversation in hip hop, is consider the goat by many. Many Caucasians & Eminem fans/ Eminem stans just want others to kiss his ass for him being a white boy who is great at rapping.

[@Trepanation21]

One of the biggest things about this whole topic that blows my mind is that Em has been not only one of the LEAST controversial people *to* hip hop, he's very clearly one of hip hops greatest allies. He lives and breathes hip hop. He loves and respects and hip hop, its forefathers, guardians, and youngbloods SO MUCH. He's never betrayed hip hop. If it was hip hop against the world, Em would be on the front lines covered in blood. There is NO REASON to ever even question whether Eminem belongs. Anyone questioning whether he belongs in hip hop is either a traitor to hip hop or a racist. Period.

[@yoshi0k262]

I mean em has gone true alot of controversy especially when I was younger people protesting him and trying to get him banned and the whole benzino thing but your other point is so true that its crazy mtbmb on every song he shouted out a old school rapper he made a whole album to help show people how bad muble rap is to change how people go about it and so much more eminem is probably raps greatest person since he does so much to show how he loves it and just for people to hate for race and pets be honest that all it is kinda annoying

That's why he's my fav. I think that ability is so freaking dope and makes me respect Stevie 10 times more. It means he's honest and real....which makes it all mean so much more. His respect for Eminem just continues to grow, and he's at the point where he'll go to bat for someone he doesn't even listen to recreationally, purely for the fact that the hating on him is OBJECTIVELY dumb.

Straight facts! 🔥 I'm from the Caribbean and it was Eminem that introduced me to Hip Hop in 1999 when "My Name Is" dropped. I've been riding with Shady ever since and I'm 32 now. Thanks to Em and my new love for Hip Hop, I started listening to other artists and Hip Hop/Rap became my favorite genre.

FACTS! Eminem EXPANDED the monopoly of Hip Hop. Shit I'll even say this, Eminem MADE Hip Hop fun again and made it about lyrics after he dropped his Kamikaze Album and he had the WHOLE INDUSTRY listen from, mumble rap, conscious rap, etc. He had them ALL listen, and that TIDAL WAVE has slowly been drowning mumble rap away and it inspired the MCs and Lyricists to make Rap/Hip Hop what it was again.

[@morenocarlos9928]

Rikochet States that was gonna happen anyways in my opinion. He definitely contributed to it with the album but in my opinion he’s contributed to the rise of real hip hop again in other ways than music etc Griselda, inspiring the newest gen of lyrical rappers, and probably a shit load of stuff we don’t even know about. Kamikaze wasn’t really as influential as the other stuff Eminem does outside of him actually rapping.

We all knew that mumble rap was never gonna last, before Em even said anything about it J cole had already addressed it.

[@hellboundtruck123]

I am from a humble place in the himalayas, 32 yr old now, i was introduced first to Rap/Hip hop by some kids who came back from the US and brought me a Casette of some group called Ruff ryders, i listened to it found it okay but tossed aside the cassette and threw in some pearl jam, then one day when i was going through a music store i saw a cassette bluish and written slim shady, i just bought it somehow, i dont know why, i was into rock n roll through and through, but when i put it on in my sony walkman, bro, i swear i was hooked, i bought every single album after that and then one day i bought one of 50 too and loved it. 30 years later i can safely say, all those times i literally tried to write his lyrics while he was rapping, it was such a struggle, i now realise that eminem's message is global and most of black american message is local, hardly any message besides jow they struggled in thier buildings and life, in their own way with local references, which the rest of us dont know about. We all struggle and suffer thats life but eminem's music kind of wants to lift you up when you're down, its motivating, its funny and fun too, its dark and comical and its very clever writing with all the yriple and quadruple entendres. I listened to hip hop because of eminem and later discovered MCs like mfdoom, ghost face killer, royce da 5'9, big pun, rakim(also one of my favs) Kendrick lamar, scarface, hopsin, and any other hip hop artist i now realise i know because i was lucky to listen to eminem.

Deep respect to both of you gentlemen for speaking these hard truths. I am a rarity being an older white woman who did listen to all music including very early hip hop and rap because in the 60s, 70s, and 80s people didn’t restrict themselves to one genre of music. I have a cat named Grandmaster Flash who along with Kurtis Blow were the first hip hop artists I heard BECAUSE hip hop was accepted in the disco world. Those guys WERE popular in white culture because of the dance aspect of hip hop. Then rap battling became more well known and of course the white world didn’t understand that...even those of us who were dirt poor. Cypress Hill was about the only group that became popular with some white people until Run DMC and LL Cool J who were popular with a lot of whites. Honestly, in the world I lived in we didn’t feel a connection to the gang rap battle aspect of hip hop/rap until N.W.A. blew it all up with Straight Outta Compton. BTW? Beastie Boys did help white rap fans keep the racist idiotic haters away when we were drooling over NWA. lol And even though the music industry tried very hard to squash hip hop and rap? There was no going back after Beastie Boys and NWA. You think I don’t snicker at the delicious irony when I watch Ice-T Mister “Cop Killer” play Det. Tutuola on Law & Order Special Victims? We had Vanilla Ice and honestly I thought he was ok, but it was like he did a pop/rap fusion that was like the bubblegum music I listened to when I was a young girl. Just music to dance to with some very catchy phrases, but it wasn’t substance. Then rap rolled mainstream. Like for real people were buying it even though the music industry snubbed it. Kid Rock was more popular than Em for awhile which is the biggest joke when I think about how that shit has gone down over the years. But Em came out dirt poor, self-deprecating, unsure, but talented beyond measure. For years I tried not to think of him as the greatest I had ever heard because I admit it felt wrong saying that about a scrawny white kid when I knew that rap was Black and how very important that was to Black culture and music created by Black musicians and entertainers. But Em always seemed so reverent with every delivery. And who am I to deny Em if Dr. Dre says it’s cool? Lyrically? I just don’t see many past or present who have dropped many bars that can compare with the overwhelming list of Eminem lines that are literally part of our language. Sorry for this tl;dr post, but I can’t sleep because of this division. I LOVE Snoop! From Gin & Juice to watching him cook & cuddle with Martha Stewart--Snoop does remember that young Black teenagers might be looking to Em for lyrical inspiration, but old, bitchy white ladies like me wanna see him in pajamas cooking breakfast with Martha so it all evens out....right? This whole thing hurts. How do we stop the “cancellation” of Eminem without damaging our love for Snoop? We have enough REAL hatred and division without creating division and hate where it doesn’t really exist. In the one million years (lol--it’s late and I exaggerate, but I’m bitchy and tired) I have been a fan of hip hop and rap I don’t think I have ever heard anyone say they loved Snoop, but hated Em or vice versatility. These are two of the more “acceptable” rappers on the planet. They are both legendary and I want to know if anyone has any ideas on how we can de-escalate this? It hurts. It feels wrong.

[@arnoldgarcia5544]

Facts! There's no comparison! When it comes to lyricism, Eminem stands alone at the top. I've listened to most of his catalog and I'm still catching bars that I didn't catch 20 years ago! It's amazing how much new bars I catch in all of his songs! So many double and triple entendres. So many different meanings to the same words. The way he's twists those words. The way he rhymes so many syllables on the same line. The incredible story telling without losing the integrity of his rhyming skills . The way he can tell a story and make you feel the emotion he is feeling while telling it. His powerful cadence. The way he can make you laugh at one thing and cry in the next. He's incredible. Eminem really got me listening to NWA, Snoop, Tupac, Biggie, Rakim, Redman, Lil Wayne, Royce, Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Kendrick etc.. Taking Eminem's existence out of hip hop, out of the culture would be like taking Michael Jordan's existence out of Sports.

That's real talk. Em was the first rap album I ever sat down and listened to at 14. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't know hip hop history. Em made me go back and listen to the MC's he said he was influenced by, Rakim, Big Daddy Kane, Treach, Mobb Deep, Big, Pac, Tribe, Pharcyde, Outkast, Jadakiss, Kurupt, Raz Kaz, NWA, Cube. I would've never knew Royce, Yela, and Kxng Crooked were dope AF. Em is a student of the game, and he stays teaching his listeners who influenced him. His pen game, his diction, his flow, his cadences, his story telling, his imagery, his complex schemes, syllables, double, triple, quadruple, entendres, homonyms, unmatched. He's my favorite rapper. I love K.Dot, Cole, mighty mos def, common, talib, etc. I go and listen to Jay and Nas and I love them and what their story is, but I always gravitate back toward Em because I relate to his struggle, sonically, content wise. Ultimately, your favorite artist comes down to your taste and what you relate to, but to say Em is not an MC or does a disservice to true Hip Hop, means you're not listening. He's a student of the game.
